Shamo Quaye Memorial tournament kicks off today

The Shamo Quaye Memorial and Inter-site/community football competition will kick off today at the Twedaase Primary School park in Community One, Tema.

The week-long  tournament, which will end on January 2, 2016, is expected to attract about 20 teams from the various sites and communities in and around Tema.

Chairman of the organising committee, Christopher Amanatey who spoke to the Daily Graphic, explained that the competition had been the preserve of the sites which are mostly located in Community One, but the organisers had to widen the scope due to the growing interest in the neighbouring communities.

Mr Amanatey expressed appreciation to the current Members of Parliament (MPs), Titus Nii Kwartei Glover, James Ainoo and Kofi Brako, as well as the aspiring Members of Parliament in the Tema metropolis, Papa Nii Ofosuware and Carlos Ahenkorah, for their support.

He further appealed to other individuals and corporate bodies, especially those in Tema, to donate towards the success of the competition.
